Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Void of the Heart. Enjoy the 1300-word chapter. I don't own HI3D, miHoYO and a few others do.
(Earth, Oliver's home, 9:20 AM, Friday.)
Sirin continued to look over a map which she looked at while Oliver crossed his arms and looked at her.
"We're going to have to deal with probably tanks or their Blizzard Class assault mechs… You know they probably sent someone just to deal with you…" Oliver said before Sirin looked at the door.
"Oliver, the time for planning is over… Zima just landed troops 10 miles from your city and your military is scrambling to meet them… I will meet them." Sirin said before she teleported and Oliver sighed.
"Damn it, we spend 2 hours going over planning… Screw it, I'll go get the rifle and that pistol… And then chase the military where Sirin just went to confront what is probably a God Lieutenant and thousands of soldiers, tanks, aircraft and mechs…. Damn it, Sirin, your crazier than the human…" Oliver muttered before he went to grab the guns.
He had Sirin reappear a second later, Oliver turned to her while Sirin looked at the floor.
"I'm sorry… I forgot I was supposed to teleport us both to the battlefield…" Sirin stated, Oliver sighed and walked back to grab his guns.
"If Sergey is there, let's just hope he doesn't slaughter the men and woman who are supposed to be defending my home." Oliver muttered, Sirin pouted like a kicked baby and then Oliver walked back with the rifle, which only had the clip already in it, and his pistol which had 4 clips in it.
Each clip had 12 rounds, Sirin formed a portal which Oliver walked through, already having snow clothing.
He and Sirin emerged in a forest while he looked at Sirin.
"Where is…." Oliver started to say before he saw 100 or so Zima soldiers march out of the smoke like ice.
"I'm going to need more guns…" Oliver said while he looked at Sirin who stared past the soldiers.
"There is something…. No, that can't be…." Sirin said before a figure walked out of the mist.
Sirin stared at the grey hair, grey haired face of the Herrscher of the Reason, clad in the same blue dress with blue feather, ice broch and white sock with blue shoes as 10 years ago.
She had her bunny and sniper rifle while she stared at Sirin.
"Bronya?" Sirin asked while the Herrscher motioned to her troops.
"Capture the Human… Leave Sirin to me." Bronya said while Oliver rushed to the forest.
20 of the soldiers rushed after Oliver while Sirin telekinetically threw 10 back. She knew Oliver could deal with 10 soldiers.
"Your helping Sergey?!" Sirin yelled, Bronya looked at the fellow Herrscher.
"I am helping the country I was born in, Sirin… You've looked down on other races for so long… And now I heard just a few days or so that you've started to change your opinion…" Bronya said while Sirin faced down her friend and the company of Zima soldiers
"Sergey is using the humans against us…. And you sided with him? Step aside, and call off your army…" Sirin stated before Bronya began to float.
"You won't command me, Sirin… You're not Queen of the Herrscher or Houkai here…. Time to fall…." Bronya said before she felt her eyes glowing.
"If you won't surrender… I'll make you bow… Then I'll deal with Sergey." Sirin stated while she floated off the ground.
(With Oliver)
Oliver rushed through the trees before one of the soldiers shot at him. Oliver turned and returned fire.
He saw the man collapse, red coming from his uniform, he felt a bullet graze his side.
"Damn it!" Oliver yelled, he put his hand to the wound and then turned to shoot at the soldiers.
His gun blasted out 8 bullets and then clicked empty, he tossed the gun away and drew his pistol.
"Let's see if that training you gave me before you joined the army was good enough, dad…." Oliver said before he turned and shot one of the soldiers before grabbing his rifle and sliding down the hill.
Oliver looked at his rifle and sighed before putting it on his back. He would find more ammo later, he guessed.
"I really hope Sirin is doing better… Twice out of the house and now I'm in world war 3…" Oliver muttered before the rest of the Zima soldiers arrived.
"Crap…" Oliver said and rushed into the maze of trees again.
(With Sirin)
Sirin blasted Bronya's soldiers back with a gust of wind from her hands before she summoned Keys of the Void and fired them.
Massive explosions formed in the snowy ground which Bronya dodged and fired a laser at her.
"Your just another one of Sergey's flunkies, Bronya…. You think he cares about what happens to the Zima?" Sirin asked, she felt a prick of pain from her back.
She turned to the soldier and crushed her before she sighed and raised her hand.
Streaks of lightning burned soldiers to a crisp while 20 or so rushed for cover amidst the rain of lightning.
That was before a kick from Bronya knocked her into the air before Bronya's Bunny slammed her into the snow.
"You act as if I'm not aware…. Second, for someone with little regard to humans, you seem very protective of that man… Maybe I'll take him to the Empress… She wanted to see why 2 gods were so interested in him." Bronya stated.
Sirin punched the ground, sending plumes of flame from the ground which incinerated the rest of the soldiers around her.
"You won't touch him… I'll burn your army to dust before I let you lay a finger on him…." Sirin said as she floated on her feet.
"You know those attacks on the Republic? You were foolish enough to believe they were all at once… This is just one attack… A raid, the full invasion force is miles off shore… All ready to attack…" Bronya said before she looked over to see movement from the forest.
It was then she saw Oliver emerge from the forest, she grinned and fired a shot from her sniper.
Sirin went to conjure a portal before the bullet grazed his leg and Oliver collapsed into the snow.
"OLIVER!" Sirin yelled before she turned and shot at Bronya, managing to graze her side before the Herrscher backed away.
"We're finish this by the end of the week, Sirin… You don't even know what's happening here… And even with your army, you won't have enough to push us back…" Bronya said before she fired a gust of wind which blew Sirin backwards and into the snow.
"Goodbye for now, Sirin… Perhaps next time will be different…" Bronya said before she vanished into the mists.
Sirin said nothing and flew over to Oliver.
"This is getting pretty damn old!" Oliver yelled while Sirin landed and began to once again reconstruct the matter on Oliver so the bullet wouldn't kill him.
"Friend of yours?" Oliver asked, Sirin said nothing and created another portal.
She didn't know there was a drone recording them both from the Star Republic.
Along with another from the Zima Empire, she vanished into the portal while cradling Oliver.
Little did she know what tomorrow would bring… Or how much she cared for Oliver
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I know its short, I also know the fight was short, this arc was expanded to 15 chapters or so. Next chapter will show more of Sirin and Oliver bonding, show what makes him special, and show more of the war… While making Oliver a part of the Star Republic's army. Until Sunday or so, Lighting Wolf out!
